Highschool of the Dead

Occult Academy

Highschool of the Dead and Occult Academy episode 1 were not half bad. Gonna write more about these two later on (when i have time to spare. ahahas).

so here i am now, with a bit of time to spare to deliver what i promised. now these two animes are now at episode 4. i should understand the storyline by now right?

okay first off, highschool of the dead. this anime have a lot to offer. action, romance, gore, fanservice (it never hurts every once in a while. hehe), and like every other anime, some humor. i love the action and gore in this anime. lots of blood, lots of bashing, lots of biting and for now, 1 gunshot. the fight scenes are really engaging i can say. it's only episode 4, i already can see the development building up in a good pace. mind you i haven't read the manga so i don't know the story at all. i didn't even read the manga review for this. so i'm really crossing my fingers as i see a good potential in this series. the protagonists found survivors at their school including one probable antagonist and they moved to the city. lets see how this story builds up. i don't wanna touch the romance side of this story, animes tend to leave the relationship status of its characters "hanged". about fanservice, not excessive, just the right amount in my opinion (i'm not really a big fan of fanservice or ecchi anime). so all in all, for the moment this anime is at ★★★★✰.

up next is Occult Academy. i like to think this anime as the lighter side of highschool of the dead. it's less intense whereby there are far less gore and fanservice but it's not a negative thing, as this anime is rich in humor and the animation is really done well. the fight scenes is more or less at par as HSotD. the pace of this anime is quite slow, i can't really see where the story leads but it is interesting. the protagonist is from the future trying to find a "key" in the past to stop the destruction of earth with a cameraphone. yes, a cameraphone. and again, i won't touch the romance side of this anime. overall for me, ★★★★✰.

cheers
